JUCO star Sione Laulea sets announcement date; USC one of three finalists

USC is a finalist for an elite JUCO player.

Sione Laulea is listed at 6-4 and 185 pounds. He is the top-rated cornerback and JUCO prospect in the nation. He has over 20 reported scholarship offers, but his final list included a top three of Oregon, USC and the Miami Hurricanes.

The College of San Mateo (Calif.) cornerback will announce his decision live on the 247Sports YouTube Channel on the evening of Sunday, Oct. 8.

Laulea really took advantage of his time at the College of San Mateo. After picking up just one FCS offer out of high school, Mateo has soared up the JUCO rankings in the Class of 2024. He now has five Power Five programs on his radar as he approaches a decision, but USC is in the top three.

Laulea had 15 tackles and one interception as a freshman for the College of San Mateo last season with appearances in 10 games. San Mateo cruised to a California Community College Athletic Association football championship, capped by a 55-0 victory over top-ranked Riverside City College.
